Are you talking about C5Z rims? The LG G Stop kit uses the SL6 wide body caliper and it will fit under the C5Z front rim but that setup only works with stock size rotors. The Z wheels have a pocket that is pushed outward just off center of the wheel and the caliper fits in that pocket. Going out another half inch in radius might make them hit the backsides of the spokes.

Here it is.
I haven't been to their site in awhile, but I'm noticing that they have added a note saying that a 1/8th spacer is required to run factory rims.....however it doesn't specify between the base coupe and the ZO6.
I don't mind running a small spacer if that's required.

That's correct, I'm only worried about the clearence on the rear brakes.
I'll level with you guys, I'm actually asking the question because I want to throw a set of rear wheels with drag radials on to do some quick runs down the track. Knowing that this is where people run these type of rims and BBK's I figured I'd have better luck here figuring out if these would fit.

Send a PM to kmagvette. He runs the Wilwoods on the rear of his C5Z. He just posted some Wilwood rotors for sale in this section a few minutes ago.
